Devotional: Rich Toward God

 Day 1 – Guard Your Heart

Scripture: Luke 12:13–15

Focus: “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed.” (v.15)

Observation:

The parable begins with a relatable moment—a family argument over inheritance. But Jesus doesn’t engage the legal issue; He targets the heart behind it. His warning is clear: greed is deceptive and dangerous. It’s not always about excess—it can disguise itself as fairness or security.

Jesus sees deeper than the request—He sees a soul ruled by wanting more.

Challenge:

Are you more focused on what God can do for your situation than on what He wants to do in your heart? Identify one area where greed or self-interest may be shaping your prayers—and invite God to re-center your desires.

Prayer:

Lord, expose any greed hidden in my heart. Help me desire You more than the things of this world. Teach me to seek You—not just Your gifts. Amen.
